'US votes against UN resolution condemning death penalty for same-sex relations' & other Tue midday news briefs

There is a certain bothersome law which may take effect in Mississippi on Friday. Let's thrash it.

US Votes Against UN Resolution Condemning Death Penalty for Blasphemy, Adultery and Same-Sex Relations - And we didn't explain our vote:

" The resolution passed 27-13, with seven nations abstaining. America joined just 12 other countries – among them Burundi, China, Egypt, India, Iraq, Japan, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia – in voting against the United Nations Human Rights Council's resolution." 

 And I'm confused. Doesn't Trump want to ban immigrants from coming into the US from many of those countries? Supposedly some of it had to do with "concerns about anti-LGBTQ oppression."

Mississippi’s HB 1523 Is The Most Sweeping Anti-LGBT Law In The U.S. And It Takes Effect Friday - Probably the most far reaching "religious liberty" anti-LGBTQ bill is about to become law in Mississippi on Friday. The law allows doctors, lawyers, and teachers to use the "religious liberty" excuse to discriminate. The irony is that the courts see nothing wrong with it because it has not been determined YET how much harm could this law do to LGBTQs. In other words, the law being implemented is what the religious right wants. But it's implementation will probably eventually doom it. See graphic above.
